Thanks for sharing this example of using seawater. Great idea for islands surrounded by ocean with little to no fresh water, money, technology and resources.

@bbnnmm9 4 года назад

Even if you dont have a huge sheet of plastic, you can use Reynolds wrap, ziploc bags, plastic bag like shopping bags, or plastic bottles, cut the bottom off and poke hole in cap, wrap coffee filter or fabric around the cap side, then fill sand, gravel, then bigger pebbles after an that's a filter, theres always a way to do it, you can use a bucket as well, doesnt have to be a hole in ground, just gotta use whatever is around you at the time best you can an substitute things best your ability.

@rosemariebredahl9519 Год назад

If those leaves aren't poisonous, you can even overlap them like shingles toward the collection point (which, itself, could be leaves &/or carved-out wood &/or a conveniently shaped rock Etc.).

@gibbsm 7 лет назад

what tree does the plastic sheet come from?

@fredgarvin4482 6 лет назад

the resin from a conifer tree or you can perform pyrolysis on wood and then condense the overhead gas products into oil and then build a refinery to manufacture the plastic. but without a freshwater source you would be dead before you achieved those things.

Another way to get water: wrap a sealed plastic bag around a living, leafy branch, and leave it for several hours. The leaves photosynthesizing give off a small amount of water that will collect as droplets, and you can shake the bag to get the water to one corner to drink. Obviously, it is only about a Dixie cups worth, but if you can find a bunch of littered bags, it takes little energy to set up many. I have tried this in our backyard, but am no expert and don’t know if water from every plant is safe to drink.

@shanesmaineshop 7 лет назад

I did this on a small scale and it worked great. good video thanks for sharing.

@someperson5506 7 лет назад

That took 24 hrs to get. Humans need almost 2L of water per day. 250 ml gives you an eighth what you need. Sitting in the shade and not doing much will decrease how much you need, but if you're going to use a still like that, you should really set up more than one.

@peteranon8455 7 лет назад

Oh yeah, you'd need 8 of these to get all your drinking water, but if you need it, you need it.

@playinem121 6 лет назад

Nice video. It would be helpful to line the bottom of your hole with plastic before you add the plants and seawater/urine. It doesn't have to be clear plastic at the bottom of your still but clear is needed at the top.

@Notyourgrandad1900s 11 месяцев назад

Why??!

Because the soil will absorb a lot of the water otherwise. Ideally you have a pool of water at the bottom.@@Notyourgrandad1900s

You don't have to dig a hole if you already got a bucket. Just place the vegatation in the bucket, the cup in the center and cut out a small sheet of plastic and place it on top of the bucket. Same concept, way less work.

@scottcaine4514 2 года назад

The same concept but the hole in the ground is going to creat a cooler surrounding, therefore aiding the process. Would still be worth creating a way for the bigger bucket to be cool.

@judassss 7 лет назад

mad kent! thx

@jarrod9234 10 лет назад

I could be wrong, but wouldn't it have been better to place the whole bucket of salt water inside the still, off to one side? By tipping it in, a lot of the water would have just soaked away.

@dam6.6 9 лет назад

I barely learned of this method for acquiring water but what you mentioned does make a whole lot of sense. I think it would be ideal to use some of the transparent plastic sheet as a cover for the basin to retain water. that way the hole can keep it's parabolic shape in order to efficiently expose as much of the water to the sun's rays.

@jenniferandoh5342 6 лет назад

I may be wrong too lol. But tipping the water all over the leaves surrounds the leaves in water that is saltier (has a higher solute concentration) than the water inside in leaves. Therefore, the fresh water in the leaves diffuses out of the leaves by osmosis, down a concentration gradient, so you harvest more water from the leaves than you would if the leaves were not surrounded by salt water. Therefore, more fresh water evaporates and drips into the bucket.

@brent7215 4 года назад

@@jenniferandoh5342 Actually this is pretty smart when you think of it in cooking terms. Throwing a bunch of salt on vegetables draws the moisture out of them like crazy. Can't see why it wouldn't work with leafy plants.

@Jack-bs7cy Год назад

If you lay a piece of plastic flat on the ground condensation would build immediately then place the plastic where it will drain to the center and then squeegee it to that location. Yes you need a squeegee. Might be able to shake it to the center.

A couple of dozen of those should keep one person alive in hot weather. You only need a litre of water every couple of hours. Just remember to carry a decent shovel, a case of drinking cups, a couple of coils of flexible tubing and a big roll of plastic sheeting with the rest of your kit if you're planning on trekking......

@MemeKing44 8 лет назад

+blitz krieg really? you would actually drink your own straight pee, before filtering it this way? some people recommend, a sheet at the bottom as well, to prevent the urine from soaking into the ground, also i don't think the leaves are necessary, because they will just absorb the urine. I think, dig a hole, plastic sheet down, pee in the hole, set cup in, cover with plastic. this would probably recover with i would say an 80% efficiency. Then you wouldn't be wasting your pee.

@OsirusHandle 8 лет назад

The more dehydrated you get the worse urine is to drink. After a day without water it will be too concentrated and drinking it will only make you more dehydrated.
